I kind of agree with Richie on this one. Workplace violence is definitely the wrong phrasing of the Fort Hood killings. That is domestic terrorism - plain and simple. That Army major should be either locked away for the rest of his life or executed quickly.

As for a man killing his family because they would not convert to Islam. There are lots of crazies who do kill members of their families for "religious" reasons. These people are mentally off anyhow and their fanatical beliefs propel them to the killings. It might be Islam, Jim Jones, ultra-fundamentalist Baptist, or others. Look at the ones who handle snakes or will not seek a doctor's assistance, or have 15 wives who may be children. Too many crazies with religioius overtones.
